Happy New Year!

This is a Serious Message, today. An Info-Message:

I hope you all are having a wonderful end of year celebration. My husband, Bill, and I certainly are. We've been very busy with most of our eight kids coming home for Christmas and getting snowed in here at our house in Hickory.

We've also been setting up an apartment in Charlotte; my husband has a new job and we have finally decided to start all over and try out living in the city near his place of business. We'll still come home to our house in Hickory on the weekends, but the apartment will be our Charlotte weekday home. (For years and years, Bill has made the one hour drive home to Hickory because of the kids, who are now all grown up.) At last he will be able to hop in the car and drive a couple of miles home. It's going to be wonderful!

If you need to contact us, we will be in and out for the next week or two. Be sure to email at deberklein@yahoo.com. I am having a hard time getting all my phone messages, and my husband has a new phone number, which I don't have yet. So please be patient with us.

Thanks, and once again, Happy New Year!

Jingle Bells!



This was taken last year. It's the cottage from the road, on the other side of the river.



As you can see, it gets pretty snowy at the cottage.

Here is a picture, again from last year, of my husband and our daughter going up the steps to the main door.

I don't know their names, but these girls were spotted along Castleford Road
on the way to the cottage. Again, this is one of last year's pics.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
